Talk:64/63

Naming

Hey, Xenwolf, I don't know about you, but "Archytas' comma" strikes me as a unique name. It's true that I'd prefer 64/63 as title for this article, but still... --Aura (talk) 15:48, 27 November 2020 (UTC)

For German people "Leipziger Komma" would be the easiest name to remember and pronounce. But in a mathematical of functional sense all the names are just noise. 😉 --Xenwolf (talk) 16:17, 27 November 2020 (UTC)

Organization, and the Archytas comma as a musical interval in its own right

Instead of saying "On the other hand, if one should be so bold as to treat the Archytas' comma as a musical interval in its own right", it would be better to reorganize this article after the example of the Diesis, which has an Approximations section, and following that a Temperaments section which has sub-sections for "As a comma" and "As an interval" (and while we're at it, can we get it a non-comma name?). After all, NOT tempering out the Archytas comma is a requirement for many septimal temperaments to work properly, where tempering it out results in a d (or even dd) val, although in equal divisions of the octave smaller than 44EDO, it will unavoidably be inflated.

I think I'd have to say that 64/63 could be called either the "Archytas Greater Superprime" or the "Archytas Narrow Inframinor Second" depending on whether it functions as a prime or a second. --Aura (talk) 20:28, 30 July 2024 (UTC)

Complete the Sagittal Notation?

Showing the symbol for Sagittal Notation down by this interval is nice, but it would be good to put the Sagittal Notation up for this interval. Unfortunately, I haven't yet figured out how to reference the right symbol myself. Lucius Chiaraviglio (talk) 07:13, 9 October 2024 (UTC)

Good idea. Done. Dave Keenan (talk) 12:17, 9 October 2024 (UTC)

Lucius, thank you for the nudge to improve the documentation. The Sagitype article should help you with learning how to make ⁠ ⁠ yourself. Please let me know if you still have questions. --Cmloegcmluin (talk) 15:39, 9 October 2024 (UTC)

Thank you very much -- this is quite helpful. It should be made more widely known. Lucius Chiaraviglio (talk) 07:21, 10 October 2024 (UTC)
